Tracing the run-time path for C++ code compiled with TEST

To trace a program showing the entry and exit of that program without requiring any changes to it, place the following z/OS® Debugger commands, shown in the example below, in a file and USE them when z/OS Debugger initially displays your program. Assume you have a data set that contains USERID.DTUSE(TRACE) and contains the following z/OS Debugger commands:

int indent;
indent = 0;
SET INTERCEPT ON FILE stdout;
AT ENTRY * { \
  ++indent; \
  if (indent < 0) indent = 0; \
  printf("%*.s>%s\n", indent, " ", %block); \
  GO; \
}
AT EXIT * {\
  if (indent < 0) indent = 0; \
  printf("%*.s<%s\n", indent, " ", %block); \
  --indent; \
  GO; \
}

You can use this file as the source of commands to z/OS Debugger by entering the following command:

USE USERID.DTUSE(TRACE)

The trace of running the program listed below after executing the USE file is displayed in the Log window:

int foo(int i, int j) {
  return i+j;
}
int main(void) {
  return foo(1,2);
}

The following trace in the Log window is displayed after running the sample program, using the USE file as a source of input for z/OS Debugger commands:

>main
 >foo(int,int)
 <foo(int,int)
<main
